Villa Necchi Campiglio

Palaces and Aristocratic Residences

Villa Necchi Campiglio is a historic house museum on Via Mozart in Milan, Italy, designed by the architect Piero Portaluppi and built by the Gadola firm between 1932 and 1935 for the industrialist Angelo Campiglio and the Necchi sisters of Pavia, who bought the land around 1930. Portaluppi's design is Rationalist, though later renovations directed by Tomaso Buzzi from 1938 introduced eighteenth century inspired details. The property included a private garden with a tennis court and a heated swimming pool, described as the second pool ever built in Milan after the city's own municipal pool and the first built on private land, along with then modern conveniences such as an elevator, a dumbwaiter and intercoms. With no heirs, the Necchi sisters left the villa to the Fondo Ambiente Italiano, which restored it under the architect Piero Castellini and opened it to the public as a museum in May 2008. The house has since become a recognizable filming location, appearing in Luca Guadagnino's 2009 film I Am Love and Ridley Scott's 2021 film House of Gucci.
